Black Creek Historic Brewery Porter 5%, Ontario
Following the historic techniques, tools and traditions employed by Ontario brewers in the 1860s, Black Creek Historic Brewery eschews refrigeration, pasteurization and other modern “improvements” to the brewing process. The smoky/toasty aroma also shows traces of buckwheat honey, anise and espresso. A lighter-bodied porter, it is gently malty and smooth on the palate, finishing with a refreshing dryness and hint of bitterness. ($3.55/500 ml)
